Neil & Marion had 5 known children: Marion, Ann, Margaret, Euphemia & Neil. Ann was born Edinbane,1844 d.1926 Midlothian. She married Andrew Litster in East Lothian. I have info re her family (thanks to Skye genealogists) but would love to find out about her siblings and their descendants. Thankyou.
